Kingster
Hall of Famer
Ummm...yeah. Decaf?
I actually was 100% against letting Wallace go, and one of the reasons that I disliked Adelman was his refusal to get minutes for him (which the people clamoring about how we should have kept Adelman like to forget his small rotation and lack of PT for younger guys, unless they had a jumper like Songaila). I understood we were in contending mode, but he could have found more time during the seasons.
Petrie made a mistake on this one to be sure, I am just pointing out that it isn't as simple a slam dunk no-brainer move that people make it out to be. It was only getting heavy minutes in Charlotte that allowed him to blossom, and we had a coach not willing to give him that.
Maybe it wasn't a no-brainer, just a half-brainer to keep Wallace. Petrie laughed when Kings fans criticisized his move of letting Wallace go. I bet he's not laughing now...
